Estimated Total Execution Time (hours, including overheads)

• 7hours 30 minutes

General Description

• The purpose of this observing run is to obtain circular spectropolarimetry
   of the single active giant FK Comae at 9 epochs distributed over the rotational
   period of 2.4 days. The dates in April for obtaining the full phase coverage are
   given in the section Time Critic Aspects. If there are still missing phases after
   April, we will submit a list of suitable dates for May and June.
  
  IMPORTANT note for the night astronomer: if the seeing is better than 1 arcsec,
   the observations should be checked for saturation and the exposure time decreased
   if needed. The signal, however, should be always more than 10 000 ADU.

Waiver Requests

• Approved waiver 280.D-5075B.01

Critical Observing Condition Constraints

• none

Time-Critical Aspects

• It is important that the execution date of each OB correspond to one of
   the dates indicated below:
  
  OB name		possible dates (the actual date of observations, i.e., date after midnight)
  FK_Com_phase6   26.04, 28.04
  
  Or as ordered by date:
  
  date		OB name
  25.05		phase has been obtained already
  26.04		FK_Com_phase6
  27.04		phase has been obtained already
  28.04		FK_Com_phase6
  29.04		phase has been obtained already
  30.04		phase has been obtained already
  
  If there are missing phases after April, we will provide a list of dates for May
   and June.

Special Execution Requirements

• Each OB should be executed on specific dates. Suitable dates are given
   in the section Time-Critical Aspects. If for any reason any of the nine OBs is not
   executed by the end of April, we will submit a list of suitable dates for May and
   June.
  
  IMPORTANT note for the night astronomer: if the seeing is better than 1 arcsec,
   the observations should be checked for saturation and the exposure time decreased
   if needed. The signal, however, should be always more than 10 000 ADU.

Special Calibration Information

• For the reduction we just need one ARC frame for each observations and
   the FLAT frame should be taken only once.
